Magnolia Faces
Magnolia fresh
faces
grasp flowers
for the first time.
We, who live
decades of blossoms
hold gentle hearts,
to reach, to touch,
to take in
indescribable delicacy
without the burden
of space or time.
There is only
this moment,
this flower,
Calyx and Corolla,
and
wonder.
Between Midnight and Dawn
A Literary Guide to Lent, Holy Week and Eastertide
Paraclete Press – 2016
This collection features Biblical readings, essays and poetry to compliment and enhance your Lenten journey. Poetry becomes more essential as I grow through the seasons of life. I wrote the poem featured in this book, “Miserere,” after visiting the Benedictine Monastary in Florence, Italy. This guide was lovingly created and arranged by Sarah Arthur.
“A rich feast.”

“Between Midnight and Dawn is an imaginative collection of poetry and prose that reveals what great literature is at its core: a psalm, a cry against the darkness, a prayer.”
